Have you ever dismissed network marketing because of outdated assumptions or fear of judgement?

When I first heard the term network marketing, I, like so many others in the UK, was sceptical. I thought it was one of those things, a pyramid scheme or something where people earned money off the backs of others. I made up my mind that I would never go near it. Yet here I am, sharing my own reflections on how this form of business has completely reshaped my views, my work, and ultimately, my life.

In this episode, I wanted to open up about the network marketing side of my business. I’ve spoken before about why I started this journey and how it has unfolded. You’ve heard from some of my wonderful team too. But today’s focus is on clearing up some of the biggest misconceptions around this often-misunderstood world.

What I’ve come to realise is this: network marketing is simply about sharing an incredible product, in my case, travel with people who can genuinely benefit. It’s a model that rewards those who are willing to help others succeed. And it’s far removed from the tired old clichés we’ve all heard before.

It’s not about building an empire on the backs of others. It’s about duplication, teamwork and freedom. My team has grown to over 130 people, each of them doing this in their own way, on their own terms. Some build big teams, others prefer to keep things smaller. Either way, the opportunity is theirs to shape.

I’ve reflected a lot on the contrast between this work and my former 9-to-5. In a corporate world, you’re helping to build someone else’s dream. Here, I’m helping others build their own futures. Whether it’s a parent working around the school run, someone seeking community after retirement, or someone young chasing both income and adventure, the flexibility and empowerment are undeniable.

The events are another huge part of the journey. From coffee mornings to weekends in Monaco, it’s a world full of connection, support and inspiration. I’ve met people earning six figures who started exactly where I did with self-doubt and a desire for something more.

What I’ve learned is this: network marketing rewards determination, consistency and belief. It offers flexibility, purpose and an income that’s both residual and willable, something that could benefit not only my children but their children too.

So, if you’ve been quick to judge network marketing, maybe now’s the time to take another look.
